Here is a short synopsis about the new book from Amazon.co.uk:

Hayley Westenra: In Her Own Voice

Synopsis

Hayley's first performance as 'Little Star' in a Christmas play was perfectly pitched, beautifully sung and enthusiastically received. She was six years old. Now, at the tender age of twenty, she is the fastest-selling debut classical artist ever. Her string of musical accolades is astonishing and her audiences range from royalty to premiers. This is her story, from her first performance, through later roles in major productions such as "Annie", "La Boheme" and "The Sound of Music", her decision at the age of eleven to busk for her lunch money, and the subsequent record deals, money, charity work and classical super stardom.

Is this actually written by her? I have her story already (The World At Her Feet) written by Paul Little. It wasn't very good. I thought so then, and I think so now, it's too early to write a book about her career. I imagine it will be much better than the queasy Paul Little book. Wink

This new release also explains why I haven't been able to sell the Paul Littke book on amazon!

The ordinary girl with the extraordinary voice
Many 20-year-olds would not yet have achieved quite enough to fill a whole book, but Hayley Westenra is no ordinary young woman.

For the first time, in her own words, she tells her journey from busking at Christchurch's art's centre to performing for presidents and royalty.
